Org is not just rich text for reason as explained here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6838#section-4.2.5 so I suggest reading it. Examples of content types for some "rich" text formats: .odt OpenDocument text document application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text .rtf Rich Text Format (RTF) application/rtf .xhtml XHTML application/xhtml+xml xml XML application/xml is recommended as of RFC 7303 (section 4.1), but text/xml is still used sometimes. You can assign a specific MIME type to a file with .xml extension depending on how its contents are meant to be interpreted. For instance, an Atom feed is application/atom+xml, but application/xml serves as a valid default.
